life is making me callous. it's almost no effort for me to shed the unneeded and unnecessary, and that's been extending to people. i've yet to determine if this is a good thing or not.

i'm in the midst of a pretty sweeping change in my life, i think. not in circumstances, but in my outlook. i'm sorry for the people i've hurt, but i hope you give me some credit for honesty, and although things are occasionally rocky, i feel, on the whole, better about myself.

so maybe learning on a 600cc crotch rocket isn't the greatest of ideas. also, motorcycles are scary. but damn, once i got the hang of it, it was fun. maybe in a couple weeks i'll be on the road...i hope.

one of my friends just did this, so i figured i'd jump on the bandwagon.
one year ago, i was still living at my parents' house, still definitely mired in depression over a bad breakup, not making much money, waiting for school to start to make everything better. basically i was waiting for life to get cool again.
since then i've had a shitty semester, then a good semester...made good friends and then had to put distance between myself and them. met some interesting girls, had relationships with some of them, found an amazing girl and am now in the oddest low-key, high-key relationship i've encountered yet. i've lived in coventry, am days away from moving to little italy with my oldest friend, and have entertained thoughts of putting down roots in montreal and france. i have two more piercings, have plans for at least 6 or 7 more and am getting my first tattoo of several tomorrow. i work hard at a unique and entertaining job with a cast of people that could only come out of a black comedy. i'm on my way to getting my motorcycle license and have already picked out the bike i'm going to buy. i've lost contact with a lot of friends, strengthened bonds with the ones most worth keeping and have made more than i ever had before. i'm older, more cynical, tougher and who knows if i'm a better person, but i'm in a better place.
things change, things change

because i have nothing else to post about...body-modification diaries, go!
what i have:
two normal piercings in my left earlobe
one cartilage piercing in my right ear
one tongue stud
unfortunately i am cursed with tiny ears and i can fit approximately three holes on each, and i don't like gauges, so i think i'm finished with ear piercings. also they're a bitch to heal. that's partly what drove me to poke another hole in my tongue...quick healing, it's an interesting place to get pierced (i think, anyway) and my inner masochist kind of demanded it. i have tiny nipples too (not really an unfortunate thing on a guy i guess) otherwise i'd consider getting those done...i'd like a lip ring but there's a rule against facial piercings at work and while i could probably just go ahead and do it without getting in much trouble, i'd rather at least wait for my tongue to totally heal. that does seem like a lot of metal to be knocking around in one mouth, too.
i've bandied around the idea of genital piercings...my main problem is not the fact that you're poking holes in a rather important part of your body - that i can get past. it's more that the default male genital piercing is a prince albert, which uses large-gauge jewelry...and heavy jewelry makes for saggy holes later in life. yeah. i'd seriously consider it if someone can prove to me that long-term it won't give me a big, droopy hole in my dick, but until then i'll focus on other stuff.
i don't have any tattoos yet, but hope to rectify that in a week...i'm getting my karate association's symbol on my right inner forearm. still have to draw it out but it's just copying an existing design. on top of that i definitely want:
romanov eagle, on the left shoulder, with wings across my shoulder blade and heart
lion on my right shouler
dragon on my left forearm
tiger on my right
the first two are for my heritage (it'll probably be easier to get my family to accept it if it's representing family, after all) and the last two are traditional martial arts symbols. they're not really unique designs, but i'm hoping to make up for it by drawing them myself and making them in my own style. so far i've only really got a workable design for the eagle but these are rather long-term plans. if i'm gonna do these i'm gonna do them right the first time.
i don't really know why i want tattoos so badly...i'm not really trying to get into any scene (although i feel a little bit of kinship with anybody's who's designed their own ink, and want to be recognized as an artist - plus whenever i see a girl with tattoos it just too damn hot) and i didn't really consider it until late in high school. i just figure that my body is like a blank canvas that i want to work on, like any other. anyway, enough rambling. i know some of you who read me occasionally are interested in tattoos - what do you think of what i've been considering, and what do you plan on getting?

been a damn long time since i posted here. i keep meaning to but never seem to get started. i don't really know where to start anyway...but i felt like i should at least show some signs of life and see who still kept tabs. not to mention there a couple people i'm losing touch with who i'd rather not and i may as well work through every line i can.
more to come later, maybe?

by the way, i`ve been in montreal for a week. just thought some people would be curious.
EDIT: wow, my english IS deteriorating. by the way, i`ve come to the conclusion that french is the ebonics of the romance languages. anyway, more deep insights to come soon.

i'm contemplating escape plans. as much for leverage to change things here as anything else, but if my school doesn't get its act together, i'm gone.
education is ridiculous.

the first time i was paralyzed by inaction, it set me up to fall even harder a second time. now it's coming together again, and i have to do SOMETHING.
but not yet, though. i don't want to screw this up by making a move at the wrong time.

san francisco feels like a dream i have, on occasion
these times in our lives that feel unreal are strange and precious, and we should value them more than we do
but then, all this is clearer in hindsight, after all.
i wish i didnt regret so much.

you look so tired/unhappy
what do you do when you want to comfort a friend but you only have words? and you try anyway and feel stupid? and you know that on some level, you're part of the problem yourself?
or when a friend is an eternity away and kind words over the internet would never be enough?
my happy friends have become hermits. my depressed friends are doing the same. as we get older, apparently we have to fall apart.
no alarms and no surprises, indeed.

i'm finally on the radioooo! :D
my first training session was last night on noah and fanni's show...for the first half or so i mostly watched and talked with noah or fanni about the technical stuff, but they threw me on the mic during the second half and gave me an intro :) and i read a PSA. it was fun, definitely didn't feel like two hours. and they have a HUGE music library! shelves of cds and records everywhere. the whole studio is pretty slick.
next week i get half an hour to play my own music, and i think i've got a good idea of what i want my playlist to be:
Muse - Apocalypse Now (with intro, naturally)
Youngblood Brass Band - Nuclear Summer
Gorillaz - Feel Good, Inc.
Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats
Wir sind Helden - Aurelie (yes, i'm playing your song :P)
Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should've Come Over
i'm not sure if i want to swap in Clint Eastwood for Feel Good, Inc., but we'll see.
anyway, you can listen in at midnight to 2am, saturday night (or sunday morning, if you're getting technical) at 91.1FM, or streaming online at wruw.org.
